About · Headquarters
I’m Max. I lose battles so you can read about them.
Welcome to my wargaming blog. I am an avid wargamer who loves to talk about wargames. I started out on Combat Mission Black Sea and fell in love with wargaming ever since. Think of my blog as a diary about computer wargames, military history books, films, and documentaries.

Cultivating computer wargaming culture
The Avid Wargamer is an independent publication about computer wargames. We’re interested in the games that reward patience, planning, curiosity and the occasional catastrophic decision, not just whatever happens to be making headlines. If you’re new to the hobby, start with the Beginner’s Guide.
